The Supermarket
by Brian Anderson, insurgent49


placing my hand upon these apples
I marvel at the distance they have traveled
such pristine reds and greens
so vibrant as to burn my eyes

and as I pick up this golden delicious
my mind wonders
at the tastes secreted away in the depths
of such a primitive food

my taste buds become energized
my teeth cut into the juicy fruit
my mind screams in protest
My God! The fruit is tasteless!

the grainy white interior rots away
from my anxious lips
fading to blackened ash
it wilts away and drifts to the ground

at my feet it lies
countless years of evolution
poured out and blowing away to the wind
what devil has been at this apple

then I notice the one thing
that remains at my feet
the sticker, forever glued to my sole
three simple letters, red on a white circle - “GMO”
